This network brings together expertise from across the University in the areas of how to access, manage, and utilise health and social care data from a variety of diverse sources (sensors, devices, patients, citizens, administrative data) to transform the way care is delivered and our understanding of health, disease, and wellbeing in a technological and data driven age. Despite increasing data we have yet to realise it’s true potential in the health and care sector.
This network looks at everything from data fundamentals such as data acquisition, access, management, sharing, linkage, and manipulation to harness the best possible predictive models and decision support tools for routinely collected data and newly emerging data sets from sensors, citizens, communities and cities. Strathclyde has extensive experience across the Departments of mathematics and statistics, computer and information sciences, biomedical devices and engineering, management science, Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences (SIPBS) and the Humanities to look at rich sets of data in new ways.
This is essential expertise that will drive precision medicine and citizen-driven care that will help to fundamentally change the way we use and think about data in more meaningful ways.
